Major trends in the forecast period include integrated shielding designs, customization for electric vehicles, flexible and conformable shielding, multi-layer shielding, 3d printing for customized shielding.

The increasing production of vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the automotive shielding market in the coming years. A vehicle is defined as a machine equipped with an engine and wheels that transports individuals or cargo. The rise in vehicle production in recent years can be attributed to rapid urbanization and the expansion of global automobile manufacturers. Since automotive shielding is utilized in the electronic components of vehicles, higher vehicle production leads to a greater demand for automotive shielding. For example, in August 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, a Belgium-based organization, reported that new car registrations increased by 3.9% in the first seven months of 2024, surpassing 6.5 million units. The largest markets in the region showed positive but modest growth, with Spain (+5.6%), Italy (+5.2%), Germany (+4.3%), and France (+2.2%) all experiencing increases. Thus, the rising vehicle production is contributing to the growth of the automotive shielding market.

The rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is poised to be a significant catalyst for the growth of the automotive shielding market. Electric vehicles, powered by stored electricity in batteries, are steering away from traditional internal combustion engines, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Given that EVs are highly reliant on electronic components prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI), automotive shielding becomes crucial. In October 2022, the World Economic Forum reported a robust sales figure of around 4. 3 million new battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) globally in the first half of 2022, showcasing a substantial 75% increase in BEV sales and a 37% rise in PHEV sales compared to the previous year. This heightened demand for electric vehicles is expected to significantly propel the automotive shielding market's growth trajectory.

Technological advancements have surfaced as a prominent trend driving innovation in the automotive shielding sector. Key players in the automotive shielding industry are keenly focused on introducing novel technologies to fortify their market standing and meet evolving customer demands. For instance, Bourns, Inc., a US-based manufacturer and supplier of electronic components, unveiled a new AEC-Q200-compliant, automotive-grade semi-shielded power inductor series in June 2022. This series, known as the Bourns Model SRN8040HA Series, integrates advanced magnetic silicon-based coating technology, ensuring superior magnetic shielding capabilities along with an expanded operating temperature range from -40 °C up to 150 °C. This technological innovation signifies a significant stride in enhancing automotive shielding solutions to meet stringent requirements in electronic vehicle systems.

Leading companies in the automotive shielding market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to enhance their distribution networks. Strategic partnerships involve companies utilizing each other's strengths and resources to achieve shared benefits and success. For example, in March 2023, Tech Etch, a US-based manufacturer of EMI and RFI shielding components, formed a partnership with Heilind, a US-based electronics distributor. This collaboration allowed Heilind North America to become part of Tech Etch's growing network of international distributors for essential EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference) shielding solutions. Through this agreement, Tech Etch has established partnerships with all companies within the Heilind Electronics umbrella, further bolstering its global distribution network.

In June 2022, TE Connectivity, a Switzerland-based consumer electronics company, undertook the acquisition of Kemtron, a UK-based firm specializing in manufacturing radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding products. This strategic move was aimed at expanding TE Connectivity's strategic vision within critical shielding and sealing markets. The acquisition of Kemtron bolsters TE Connectivity's portfolio, reinforcing its position in providing shielding solutions, and signals the company's commitment to driving innovation and market leadership in the automotive shielding domain.

Automotive shielding is a protective method employed to safeguard a vehicle's body and components from excessive heat generated by the engine and exhaust systems. This involves the use of heat-insulating materials to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance.

In the automotive shielding market, the primary types of shielding are heat shielding and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding. These shields are categorized based on the materials used, which can be metallic or non-metallic. Metallic automotive shielding aims to protect components from excessive heat by dispersing, reflecting, or absorbing the heat. Common materials in this category include aluminum sheets, foils, and aluminum alloys, chosen for their thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, reflectivity, and emissivity properties. Various vehicle types, including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles, utilize a combination of metallic and non-metallic shielding materials to ensure effective heat management and protection of critical components.
